The latest Calciomercato updates reveal significant movements across Italian football, with Juventus closing in on a deal for goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Roma exploring new options, and Inter making progress on key transfers. These developments, reported by multiple outlets, highlight the dynamic nature of the January window as clubs seek to strengthen their squads ahead of critical fixtures.
Juventus Close to Signing Emiliano Martinez
Italian media outlets Corriere della Sera and Sky Sport report that Juventus is nearing a deal to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa. The Argentine, known as “Dibu,” has been a focal point for the Bianconeri, who are looking to bolster their goalkeeping options amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Wojciech Szczesny.
According to Corriere della Sera, the deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, with a transfer fee estimated between €20-€25 million. Martinez, 32, has been linked with a move to Serie A for several months, and his potential arrival would mark a significant addition to Massimiliano Allegri’s squad. The club has not yet issued an official statement, but sources close to the negotiations indicate that personal terms have been agreed upon.
The move comes as Juventus seeks to address concerns over their defensive stability, particularly after a series of high-profile errors in recent matches. Martinez’s experience in the Premier League and his track record with the Argentine national team make him a compelling choice for the Turin-based club.
Sorloth’s Transfer Fee Set at 25-30 Million Euros
Another key development involves Erling Haaland’s potential replacement, with Corriere della Sera and La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that Bournemouth is demanding €25-€30 million for striker Alexander Sorloth. The Norwegian forward, who has been linked with a move to Serie A, has been a target for several clubs, including Juventus and Inter Milan.
Despite the high asking price, La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Juventus remains interested, with the club’s sporting director, Giuseppe Marchetti, reportedly engaging in discussions with Bournemouth’s representatives. The fee is seen as a significant investment, but the Bianconeri are reportedly willing to meet the demand to secure a proven goal-scorer.
Sorloth, 27, has scored 12 goals in 30 Premier League appearances this season, making him a valuable asset for any team looking to strengthen their attack. His potential move would mark a major coup for Juventus, who are looking to maintain their competitive edge in the Serie A title race.
Roma’s Pursuit of Alajbegovic Intensifies
Roma has reportedly escalated its interest in 19-year-old Croatian midfielder Nikola Alajbegovic, with Corriere della Sera and la Repubblica noting that the Giallorossi have initiated new discussions with the player’s representatives. The 19-year-old, currently with Dinamo Zagreb, has been a standout performer in the Croatian league, drawing attention from multiple European clubs.
Alajbegovic, who has made 15 appearances for Dinamo this season, is valued at around €15 million, according to la Repubblica. Roma’s technical director, Giuntoli, has been in close contact with the player’s agents, with the club aiming to secure a deal before the window closes. The midfielder’s pace and technical ability have made him a target for several Serie A teams, but Roma’s financial flexibility and ambition could give them an edge in the race.
The potential signing would represent a bold move for Roma, who are looking to rebuild their squad after a challenging start to the season. Alajbegovic’s arrival could provide a spark for the team as they aim to climb the Serie A table.
Inter Close to Signing Solet and Atta
Inter Milan has made significant progress in its pursuit of two key targets, with La Gazzetta dello Sport and Sportmediaset reporting that the club is close to finalizing deals for winger Domenico Berardi and defender Federico Dimarco. The reports suggest that Inter is preparing to make a major statement in the January window, with the potential signings of both players.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter has already held discussions with the agents of both players, with the club offering a combined package worth €25 million. The deals are expected to be completed in the coming days, with the players set to undergo medicals and sign contracts. The additions would strengthen Inter’s squad as they aim to compete on multiple fronts, including the Serie A title race and the Champions League.
The potential signings of Berardi and Dimarco would provide Inter with much-needed depth and quality, particularly in the midfield and defense. Both players have been performing consistently for their respective clubs, making them attractive targets for a team looking to strengthen its roster.
